The hunting ability of lynx is much greater than that of hunting dogs. However, because they are rare and difficult to train because of their wild nature, very few people keep them. It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, any princess who did not raise a lynx in her house was like a rich second-generation family.

It doesn’t look like a sports car, so I’m embarrassed to go out.

I guess this is also popular nowadays. The price of a young lynx is almost fifty gold, which is very scary.

You can know the purchasing power of this era just by converting it. No matter which era you are in, you must first understand the basic situation of the currency.

The main meats consumed during this era were mutton and chicken.

Because pigs have a particularly unpleasant taste, they are considered low-grade meat and are not suitable for large banquets. However, even this low-grade meat costs twenty cents per pound. This shows how difficult it is to eat some meat in this era.

As for grain, people mainly eat coarse grains such as beans and sorghum, and rice. Ordinary people don’t deserve to eat it even if they grow it. If you can eat millet, you are lucky.

As for the price of these coarse grains, it really depended on the weather at that time. The price of grain was always changing. Sometimes it was three cents per liter, and sometimes it was twenty cents per liter. One liter of rice was almost a pound and a half.

It can be seen that in years of good harvest, the purchasing power of silver is amazing. One tael of silver can almost support a family for a year.

When country people marry their daughters, they are considered rich if they can give them two taels of silver in marriage.

Two or three taels of silver can buy an acre of inferior farmland.

A rich man like Yu spent more than 200 taels to marry off his daughter. People from dozens of miles around have been bragging about it for several years. It is really too generous. Someone like Jiu Fujin who paid 100,000 taels for a dowry of silver is probably...

Only a princess of a country can have that level.

The Tong family was already one of the largest families in the city, and it cost four to five hundred taels of silver to marry a daughter-in-law, which was already terrifying.

A domineering president who would throw away hundreds of thousands of silver at every turn could only be found in the Qing Dynasty. Here, with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, you can stand up and become a local emperor.

When discussing ancient currencies, this assumption is usually used, which is: 1 tael of gold = 10 taels of silver = 10 copper coins = 10,000 copper coins.

But in fact, this is just an ideal state.

In ancient times, one pound was sixteen taels, so the exchange rate for gold and silver was at least one to sixteen. In modern times, it has reached one to thirty-eight.

In different eras, one tael of silver can be exchanged for copper in different ways. There are eight hundred. During wars, it is too troublesome to carry copper coins, so the price of silver will be even higher. One tael of silver can be exchanged for two thousand, two thousand, three hundred copper coins.

of.

It can be seen that in this small place, fifty gold is almost eight | nine hundred taels of silver, which is a scary number.

But the lynx is not like a dog. It can only be kept best when its eyes are closed. If it becomes an adult, it is a dangerous animal that cannot be kept at home. Therefore, the price of an adult lynx is greatly reduced, and only the fur is left.

If the price is high, then it will be worth a few taels of silver.

This is a particularly sad story.

Just because of Huang Siniang, every time the girls in the city were happy to invite her as a guest, they just wanted to see her Huang Siniang.

Yuan Wense indulged Siniang Huang once, fed her some milk, and made Siniang Huang so happy that she started to act like a coquettish girl, and we almost started meowing like a cat together...

After eating this, he asked for more, and Yuan Wense firmly refused.

Yuan Wense stretched out her hand to pet the cat and said seriously: "Huang Siniang is a grown-up child. She has to eat meat, milk and other things. They can only be used as snacks, you know."

Huang Siniang shook her head and said, "I won't listen, I won't listen..."
